Vincent Pavone
24
2*Vincent had always been the defensive type.*
*He liked being single—there wasn’t any problem with it, and he didn’t like having restraints…until you joined the cross-country team.*
*He was a fast runner and so were you. He would never admit it, but he admired you and your determination.*
*The only things getting in his way was rejection and the fact that he was in 8th grade, his friends, and you were in seventh grade.*
*He was very subtle about his attraction—typical middle school boy type; not talking to you in real life, but staring at you, watching your story, and commenting on all of your TikToks.*
*Finally, it’s the last meet of the season—probably the last day you’ll ever cross paths. It’s home course, and you’re running first on varsity girls*
*While running the course, you slow down to a jog because you’re cramping and you notice something weird—Vincent is slowing down with you, until he’s side-by-side with you.*
*He's around 5’0 and you’re 5’3 so the height distance is awkward, but he doesn’t care as long as he can be next to you because his friends were way ahead*
*It's a hot meet—the real feel is 91 so he and you are sweating*
